Real Life Style Icon: Rocquelle of 'Consider Me Lovely'

This is one of many Real Life Style Icon interviews, in which we talk to funny, smart, painfully cute ladies who we all want to befriend. And then steal their clothes.

Name: Rocquelle Porch
Age:
26 
Location:
Houston, TX
Online haunts: blog // twitter

Three reasons that you're awesome:  

God made me, I'm very comfortable in my own skin and I live in life's positivity




What are you wearing right now, as you type this?
Dark flared jeans, a peach and coral striped t-shirt, and gold vintage earrings


What is the last item of clothing you bought? 

Do shoes count as clothing?  
Because I just ordered sequin pumps from Amazon instead of hitting the Black Friday sales! 

What is the item of clothing you most covet at the moment?  

A faux fox fur jacket from ASOS, as though it will get (or stay) cold enough for that in Houston!





Tell us about a favorite childhood memory about your clothes.  
I don't really have one particular favorite memory about my clothes growing up, as I have always been a girlie girl obsessed with clothes and outfits.  However, I recall being consumed with those plastic Barbie heels with the feathers that they sell on the toy aisle, and I would prance around my granny's house in them all Summer long, especially when her friends came over 
(my hips would twist a bit more when they came) in their cute dresses for coffee and soap opera watching :-).



What is your best thrifting score?
It wasn't mine, but it was for me.  My best friend found a pair of Salvatore Ferragamo pants for me while out thrifting in Atlanta, that I simply adore! My favorite personal thrifted find was a pair of teal midi length culottes; they are so perfect for color blocking!


Could you share your top three style tricks/DIYs?
1. A belt works wonders on any outfit.
2. Every outfit should have at least two colors.  It makes life and dressing more interesting!
3. DIY manis can be your best accessory.  I polish my nails once, maybe twice, a week, and even when I through on jeans and a t-shirt to go grocery shopping, my nails help make my look special!

Thanks for stopping by, Racquelle!
